The aim of this study was determining the effect of acupressure on the severity of pain associated with intramuscular injections of magnesium sulfate administered by the Z-track technique in patients with eclampsia and preeclampsia. Forty-eight patients participated in this single-group clinical trial, which was conducted in three stages. For each patient, three intramuscular injections were administered by the Z-track technique. The first injection was administered by the conventional method. The second injection at a sham control point and the third injection using acupressure (BL32) were administered. Pain severity was measured on a visual analogue scale. The mean pain intensity was 7.22 in the first, 4.75 in the second and 1.94 in the third injections (p < 0.001). The results of the study showed that acupressure at the BL32 point before intramuscular injection of magnesium sulfate significantly reduced the injection-related pain.
本研究的目的是确定穴位按压对子痫和先兆子痫患者采用Z形注射技术肌内注射硫酸镁时相关疼痛严重程度的影响。48名患者参与了这项单组临床试验,该试验分三个阶段进行。对每位患者采用Z形注射技术进行三次肌内注射。第一次注射采用传统方法。第二次注射在假对照点进行,第三次注射采用穴位按压(膀胱经32穴)。采用视觉模拟量表测量疼痛严重程度。第一次注射时平均疼痛强度为7.22,第二次为4.75,第三次为1.94(p<0.001)。研究结果表明,在肌内注射硫酸镁前对膀胱经32穴进行穴位按压可显著减轻注射相关疼痛。
